■
Smoother Traffic Flow
Traffic surges can stress your network and server. The Webcache can
help smooth out network traffic and reduce delays in serving Web
content. As more users request the same Web content, it becomes
more likely that the content will be stored in the Webcache, and in
turn the Webcache becomes more effective at eliminating upstream
traffic.
■
Controlled Web Access
The Webcache allows you to control which client machines in your
network can access the Internet, and which Web sites can be
accessed. Access Logs show you who has used the Internet and where
they have been.
The Webcache and
3Com Network
Supervisor
The latest version of 3Com Network Supervisor is supplied on the
CD-ROM that accompanies the Webcache. 3Com Network Supervisor
provides powerful, intuitive network management for small to medium
enterprise networks. It automatically discovers network devices and
reports network activity, stress monitoring and performance metrics for
network managers. This information helps to provide the most efficient,
cost-effective use of network resources.
3Com Network Supervisor offers the following support:
■
If your 3Com Network Supervisor management station is located on
the LAN, it discovers the Webcache automatically and displays it on
the topology map.
■
The topology map indicates that the Webcache is a 3Com Webcache
and uses a caching icon to represent it.
■
Double-clicking on the caching icon launches the Web interface of the
Webcache.
